What's In A War?
What's in a war? Hopefully there is a purpose. Hopefully there is a goal. The war on drugs is a farce. The war on drugs is unwinable. You can not change the way human beings are designed biologically. You would have to redesign the human brain if you want to stop drug use. The human brain uses "highs" to reward itself and reinforce behavior that keeps us alive. In the words of a Ph.D. bio-psychology professor who said in class "the brain is designed to get high." The brain is designed to be high. Biology says that the war on drugs will fail because the only way to win is to kill everybody with a brain.
The war on terror is not fundamentally flawed like the war on drugs. The war on terror is something we can win. This war will not be won with the insanity that is coming out of the US. The goverment says we should understand our enemies "feelings" because of a few benign cartoons. No! We should be publishing cartoons that are purposefully degrading and insulting to our enemy. This is a war not a public relations fight. We are fighting for our society and our lives. I am sick of being told to understand the fanatics that are trying to destroy everything I love. I do not need to understand someone that wants me to convert to Islam or die. Not much there to understand. Unfortunately these leftist morons understand our enemies "feelings" but refuse to understand the real issue "convert or die."
The war on drugs has been waged for 100 years and every year we find more and more people using drugs. The war on terror is only 5 years old. It took 70 years to win the cold war. After 70 years of truly defensive posturing it only took a decade for America to soften to the modern state. This softness is evident in the leftist attitudes but it also is being touted as a real solution. If living is the problem then leftist ideaology and legislation is truly the cure. If you enjoy living then you must avoid the leftists and moderates at all cost. Moderation in a war is suicide. The war on drugs is totally a gimick designed to provide jobs. There is no reason other than to quiet political descent and questioning. There is no real purpose other than to try and control a social movement by denying freedom.
Due to the stupidity of the war on drugs there is no real concrete battle plan. The goverment itself created the black market, the drug lords and the smuggleing rings. These cartels and the crime surrounding the drug trade exist because of a govermental regulation. The cartels and the crime could be shut down instantly by changing the regulations that created them. They only exist because of the void the goverment created through legislation. These are not actual jobs and positions but rather virtual jobs. Virtual jobs could be disbanded without any notice. If the jobs were valid and serve a function they would be filled and survive the collapse of the market. These jobs would not survive because they are only their to fill a void until the situation changes. The cash flow from a legal drug market would more than pay for border security and weaponry and military hardware.
Terror is not wanted by anybody. This is another major difference between the two. The war on terror is a real war. It is a real issue that must be dealt with. When examined the two wars could not be more different. The war on terror is essential to our survival. Drugs are essential to our survival. The drug money would pay for so much and the jobs could really make a difference in put into an area that can actually do some good. How can it be good in any way to spend billions of dollars on a problem we created and continue every day by our idiotic policies? How can it be good to allow billions of dollars to go into the hands of warlords and drug cartels instead of taking care of education, the downtrodden, the disabled and many other programs?
The war on terror could be manned, funded and fought without taking a penny away from anything else or going into debt by taking the manpower and profit from drugs. Add to that the fact that the billions spent every year on this idiocy could be spent in other areas and not effect other parts of the budget. We could go a step in the right direction even further by giving tax cuts because drugs alone could fund nearly 50% of our federal budget and just think what the states could do.
President Bush spoke to the world for the American people saying "you are either with us or against us." Now Bush tells the American people to accept this port management situation simply saying "trust me." Well President Bush, the American people have a question for you: Are you with us or against us?
